I think it's pretty crazy to charge a customer for removal after they cut me during the removal process. They cut me while shortening my nails and it was not just a little nip it was the entire underside of my nail. Not sure if you can tell from the photos but the cut was so hard that even the inside of my nail was a little bruised or bleeding too. She was super apologetic and did a great job otherwise so I still tipped 20 dollars (including the 10 from the deposit), but I thought it was pretty crazy to still be charged a removal fee after bleeding from the process. I expected some sort of compensation or at least completely waiving the removal fee.
Firstly, I love the employees here. They are so sweet and I just am obsessed with talking with them. I asked for a pedicure and manicure, as I often do. I got this gorgeous red color and the woman doing my nails did amazing on the star. Such a gorgeous place and very calming to be there. I go almost every month to get my nails done. This current set (The one in the photo) has lasted me 3+ weeks with no damage.
Updating my review that's now a couple years old - still great, friendly and high quality service from Thi Spa and Nails. I come every two or three weeks for a gel mani and pedi, and I'm never disappointed. Sandi did a really nice job on the cherry heart design that I asked for for Valentine's Day!
Made an appt a week before for a Thursday slot at 1:15. When I came in, they had a few people in seat but there were enough nail technicians to handle more customers if they were to drop in. The salon itself is very clean looking. Service was great! They are all so nice and welcoming. I got a mani pedi and only got gel nail polish on my fingers. They had a lot of nail color options and even do nail art! They do not have a foot spa, but they use a basin with warm water which felt nice. I love my gel nails! Honestly my photos do not do it justice! They look so much prettier in person. I was in and out in about 1 hour. It came out to $100 without tip.
I don't get my nails done that often, maybe once every 6 months, to clean my cubicles really. Sometimes to feel and look pretty. I decided to find something close to my dinner location as I had time to kill. They were able to slip me in the day of, which I appreciate. I read some reviews that some ppl got hurt/cubicles cut but I decided to risk it bc it's a convenient location and maybe I won't get the rough person. Well, I did. She was super rough and when she hurt me, I asked if she could be gentlier. Instead of apologizing, she just said "oh you don't get your nails done often" like she had to go hard at it or something. Yes, I don't get my nails done often AND you're rough. Not everyone who does my nails hurt me. I had to show her that I'm legit bleeding (ironically, the middle finger) to emphasize what I meant but even then, no apologies. The pedicure was fine though, she was nice and quick. But I think if you plan to go get a manicure, go elsewhere as there are only 4 of them working the shop and looked like two focuses on pedicure and two focuses on manicure and so you got a 50/50 chance of getting the rough person who is rude. The place doesn't really look that sanitized either Website rates said that if you get a manicure with no color, it's cheaper. I didn't get color for both. But when I went to pay, the cashier, who doesnt even look old enough to drink, let alone know what good customer service is, awkwardly smile and told me that the website wasn't updated and that was that. No matching or anything. The whole experience was not great. I only gave them 2 stars bc the pedicure was fine. Otherwise, it'll be one. I would not go back and unless you got a lady there that's good to you, don't bother
Been going here for some time now. Located in the middle of union square. You'll not regret getting your nails done here and even doing a day with friends :)
What a great experience. Very thorough and fast. I'm so impressed. My daughter and I called in for an appointment and they were able to fit us in even though they were pretty busy. Everyone was so sweet and happy to see us and accommodate our specific style. Prices were competitive and well worth the wonderful service! Would highly recommend Thi spa and nails! Thank you!
We were visiting our daughter and this place was around the corner from our hotel. So happy we came here! The place was clean, comfortable and relaxing. I've been to plenty of nail salons and these technicians were by far the most meticulous. They really took their time and made sure our nails were perfect. Sandy, the owner, came and did the final designs on my daughter's manicure. She was so friendly and did a beautiful job. We will definitely come back next time I'm in town!

My original nail spot wasn't open so I had to try out another place. This one is located by the metreon & next to Mel's Diner. I'm not a fan of the nail shops with just couches/chairs esp when it comes to pedicures bc your feet just ends up in a big bowl & it doesn't give me the relaxing vibe.. BUT, the chair I sat on was very comfortable and the girl doing my pedicure made sure I was in comfortable positions for it. She cleaned & shaped my nails well. I'm on my feet for 12 hrs at work and I give huge shoutouts to nail spots who give heavy massages LOL. The girl doing my nail A+++++ felt nice, if you like light massages or rub downs maybe another person there. It was $60 for a gel pedicure which I find kinda pricey for what I pay elsewhere, but it looks good and felt great. read more

I really wanted to like this place since it's a lot closer to the usual place I go to for my nails. Unfortunately, my girlfriend and I had a poor experience with the service and will not be going back. My friend asked for some light pink recommendations and her nail lady picked one. After a couple coats in, my friend expressed how the color was so sheer that it didn't even look like she had nail polish on and the nail lady was super defensive and did not want to fix the color. My friend was being really flexible requesting they put a more opaque color on top so they don't have to redo the whole thing. Her nail lady ends up throwing a fit and leaving her to do another persons pedicure which I thought was extremely unprofessional-- to leave a job unfinished. In the midst of this all, the owner was condescending telling her "don't get mad because you don't understand how the color works" but refused to give her color recommendations that weren't sheer. The lady who did my friend's pedicure ended up finishing the job and was super sweet and checked to make sure she liked the new color. I wished they handled the situation differently without having to put my friend down. In addition to my friend's poor experience with the owner and her nail lady, I would say the quality of work on my fill was pretty poor. A few days later my nail cracked and started to separate from my real nail. I never had this issue going to my regular nail spot where I get frequent fills. It might have to do with the fact that they actually don't offer acrylic fills but use gel to do the fills. Not sure how my nail could possibly break since I didn't do anything strenuous being on vacation. read more

I went here to get dip powder nails done and it was an amazing experience! My nail technician was Sandy and she's the best! Everyone was friendly and provide the best care for their customers. Sandy was very gentle yet quick with my nails which I really appreciated. She also has so much experience with these types of nails that she made my nails look even better than the reference photos! 10/10 would recommend and come back read more

I had a nice time at this salon and thoroughly enjoyed my experience. The interior is very cute and classy and the staff were friendly. The technician that worked with me was extremely kind. I had a gel color change and the technician took their time and did a great job. The salon had a huge selection of colors to choose from too. read more

Up in San Francisco for business and my previous dip manicure kept chipping, I had to find a close place to my hotel to get my nails done, and found this place. So glad I did! I might even put off getting my nails done until I am up here again for work!! Joanna did my dip set, and she was a perfectionist in the best possible way. There was every attention to detail about the quality of the dip, cuticles, along with mail shape and length. I do have one natural nail that was broken when I came in. Joanna was able to keep it as long as possible to match the others without cutting the rest of my nails down too far. So happy!! The only that I didn't like was the seats. I prefer to have a table to rest my hands on or a big massage chair. Since this isn't reflective of the manicure, but more personal preference, still 5 stars from me! read more

I needed to fit in an emergency mani after breaking two nails at work. I have my usual salon by my house and a second one by work. However, I happened to notice this one also close to my work and thought I'd give them a try. While my technician was very nice, I am never returning. It comes down to the quality of the work, which I'm fine with paying more money for, but a damn shame when I'm paying $10 more (for a REGULAR mani, mind you) and it chips after three days. WTF. I usually get regular manis over gel and have even had some last over two weeks so I expect every job to last at least one week. Lastly, I had asked for an express when walking in. Stated again when I sat down with my technician. Was still charged for the regular (where is my massage then?) I was late so just paid and besides, my technician wasn't even there when I was paying so I could clarify. Never ever again. Go to Lotus on Maiden Lane a couple of blocks away for the same ambiance, lower pricing and MUCH better work. read more

Not the best I've ever had, but I can't complain for the price. The cut, massage and file portion was okay, but it was super rushed when it came to color. There are a lot of bumps and bubbles and edges that weren't clean. I thought that leaving it under the hot drier would help it but it didn't at all. The service was overall good and the girl that did my nails wasn't talkative (which was a good thing for me because I had a long day at work). The environment was nice besides it being a little awkward to be facing someone else who was getting their nails done right in front of me. After drying, I wasn't sure how long I was suppose to sit there (I don't get manicures often, obviously haha) so I ended up sitting there for about 30 min. Overall it took an hour from walk in, paint and dry. But if you were smart, unlike me, you could walk out in probably 20 minutes. Take off old mani and new mani = $22 Tip: $5 Total: $27 read more

Lina took the time and attention to detail to do an incredible job on my toe polish change. I'm probably the craziest picky customer you're going to find so the fact that Lina took so much care without me even having to ask means the world to me. When I go to a salon, I want to not have to go home to redo it. At Thi Spa and Nails, Lina really did a gorgeous job and my toes felt so gorgeous and clean and perfectly polished. Thank you! read more

Thi nails is a cute little salon off of Mission St that I pass almost every day. My 2 friends and I popped in on a Sunday afternoon to get gel manicures and immediately got seated. The ladies were amazing and professional and friendly and did SUCH a great job on my nails :) I got a gel set with a magnetic chrome color and it came out to 52$ which I felt was a steal. Definitely coming back here for the hand massage and lovely manicure. read more
